Ron Paul booking 4000 seat auditorium at Michigan State Next Monday.

[smithtg]

From recent email sent by campaign:

"But we will really drive the point home at Michigan State like never before. The Auditorium at Michigan State University seats 4,000 people. This will be the largest campaign rally to date."

I can get early tickets. PM me for info.

I personally cant go because I have three kids to watch that night....

[sailingaway]

Or you could bring your three kids, and coloring books....:p

In any event, spread the word to those who CAN go -- getting newcomers there is important, as well.

I hope he gives a campaigning speech as much as a 'rally the base' speech. They do NOT have to be all that different.

[FSP-Rebel]

Yep, just got my tix.

[Tyler_Durden]

I hope the place gets jam packed! How much are tix and does some of the proceeds go to the campaign?

College rallies don't gain votes...mostly Ron Paul supporters will go...wtf

[LL12ETF]

In Michigan I think he is looking for proportional delegates, not a win, so he is putting enough ads on the air so those thinking of supporting him know he's still in the mix, and is rallying supporters he needs to have turn out, regardless of whether he looks likely to 'win' there.

[Son of Detroit]

Already reserved my seat!

[LL12ETF]

Can someone please PM me with information on how to reserve a seat/get tickets. Thanks!

These rallies are one of the few ways RP gets good press in these states. Local news stations report on the huge turn-outs and that may get people who watch the local news to consider RP.

[seawolf]

These rallies are important, since last week Ron has been out in the States and Campaigning hard.

The RP Grassroots have responded with the financial support, donations are averaging $175,000 per day in the last 6 days.

Today the RP Daily Donation Tracker is showing $76,000 and rising. These rallies whether at a University, a City Areana, a City Train Station or an Airport Hangar are critical and great momentum and dollars!!!

[smithtg]

large rallies make the news,even if for a few seconds. people in those regions notice as well. I just hope he does a few local radio interviews like mittens and frothy have

[Paul Or Nothing II]

Holy hell? 4000? Does he even that much support in Michigan?

Are both of you guys going to be delegates or not? :)

[goldpants]

Seems like a tough venue to do a townhall style q & a from...










Exactly

[maxoutco]

Can someone get me a link to the event. I'll send it to my family in Michigan.

If we have grassroots up there doing GOTV and building contact lists to send reminders to vote and our solid supporters are in that state working with their "circle of influence" encouraging those to vote and offering rides and physically getting people to the polls, they will vote.

[happyphilter]

Should I bring supporters or drag along people who are on the fence?

[smithtg]

he is also doing an event in dearborn later that night. Going to be a tight schedule to get from lansing to dearborn, but I suppose he just hops in an SUV or hops a plane from lansing to detroit in and is there in under an hour

[francisco]

How about both?:)

[ronpaulhawaii]

The latter (or both) :)

IF YOU ARE SMART YOU WILL SIT THERE WITH OTHER RON PAUL FORUM MEMBERS & A LAPTOP COLLECTING MOBILE PHONE NUMBERS AND EMAILS SO YOU CAN MASS TEXT/EMAIL ALL 4,000 PEOPLE TO GET OUT THE VOTE AND TELL THEIR FRIENDS.


DON'T LET ANOTHER CHANCE SLIP BY YOUR HANDS.

I really hope the campaign is set up to do this.

The campaign has worked hard collecting names and contact info at every event that I have been to. You couldn't even enter the room for the event at the University of Iowa without showing your online ticket printout or signing up at the door. I don't think the campaign has stopped doing this. :D

[WD-NY]

Ron needs to take advantage of this opportunity and turn it into a "big press event" by delivering a
SERIOUS, FORMAL & GAME CHANGING SPEECH

The campaign does GOTV calls but half of them can be text messages going to mobile numbers for those who are already supporters.

I speak from experience.

I am in Michigan let me address the "college rally" issue as seen by me here......

In the last two weeks we have had nightly (local) news reports about visits here by Romney, his wife, and Santorum (blocks from my house) Two days ago there were MULTIPLE articles about how NO other campaigns were focusing on Michigan. Last night as the campaign made these rallies official it was BREAKING NEWS locally online, on TV, and on the radio. The local media are going to be flocking to follow these events. This week the local paper made a HUGE deal about Santorum's 'massive' 500 person rally, Now imagine how big a 4000+ Rally will be? and even the smaller ones will be bigger then ANY other campaigns rallies in the state. This WILL make people think. Yes I rather also have Q&A events with undecideds (which the Hudsonville, and Dearborn events may be) but these events do have a place.

College rallies don't gain votes...mostly Ron Paul supporters will go...wtfTrue, it's more of a photo op moment. Going to town-halls, churches, community centers, and social functions is where the votes are these days.

But, it would be nice to see Ron Pack 5,000 in for a nice headline to be ignored or marginalized by the establishment machine.

[Natural Citizen]

Would be nice if someone could put together some sort of vid like the one in Vancouver for this one.

Oh, ye of little faith....

It is vital because he hasn't been doing voter ID in these states because he is after delegates there. He needs to get the email addresses (to send the pictures to....) which he then can use for a blast GOTV.

I am really glad that the campaign is thinking bigger now. Getting places with more space.

Ron showing up in person is essentially the same thing. You don't want people who go to BBQ's you want people who support Ron. Those who go to BBQs don't necessarily caucus but those who go to see Ron at least have motive to do so.

Hey is anyone attending the 4pm event on Monday that is driving from Ohio, specifically Wood or Lucas County?
